Organized by the Calisia Arts Foundation, the 1st International Henryk Melcer Piano Competition attracted as many as 77 pianists from several countries around the world. The aim of the event was to discover and promote young talents, while also commemorating Henryk Melcer – an outstanding pianist and composer closely associated with the city of Kalisz for many years. The laureates of the competition had the opportunity to perform in prestigious concert halls and to participate in masterclasses led by the chairman of the jury, Dr. Łukasz Byrdy.
